Benefits of technology

This patent describes a shielding system for a handheld device, such as a cellphone, that offers protection from radio-frequency waves. The shielding system includes a resealable enclosure that is designed to hold the device and an electroconductive layer that is applied to the enclosure. This layer acts as a Faraday cage, effectively shielding the device from external electromagnetic interference. The resealable enclosure can be made from a rigid or non-rigid material and can safely store the device without compromising its functionality.

Problems solved by technology

For example, it may not be possible to obtain any raw measurements from the handset directly, yet still obtain measurements via the SIM.
Of course, the locating or positioning of these handheld devices touches upon delicate privacy issues, since it enables someone to check where a person is without that person's consent.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]Referring to FIGS. 1A-1B, there is shown shielding system 10, which may include resealable enclosure 12 configured to receive handheld device 14. Resealable enclosure 12 may define interior volume 16 into which handheld device 14 may be placed. Examples of handheld device 14 may include but are not limited to a cellular telephone, a smart phone, a personal digital assistant, and a tablet computer. One or more portions of resealable enclosure 12 may be constructed of a variety of materials, examples of which may include but are not limited to: ABS plastic, polycarbonate plastic, aluminum, and titanium.

[0028]Resealable enclosure 12 may include compartment enclosure portion 18 and lid enclosure portion 20, wherein lid enclosure portion 20 may be configured to releasable engage compartment enclosure portion 18. Lid enclosure portion 20 may include one or more arms (e.g., arm 22) adapted to engage one or more protrusions (e.g., protrusion 24) positioned on e.g., a surface (e.g., su...

Abstract

A shielding system includes a resealable enclosure configured to receive a handheld device. An electroconductive layer is configured to magnetically and / or electrically shield the handheld device.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 756,837, filed on 25 Jan. 2013, and entitled “Device for Eliminating Cell Phone Tracking”, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This disclosure relates to shielding systems and, more particularly, to shielding systems that are configured to work with handheld communication devices.BACKGROUND[0003]The technology of locating is based on measuring power levels and antenna patterns and uses the concept that a mobile phone always communicates wirelessly with one of the closest base stations, so if you know which base station the phone communicates with, you know that the phone is close to the respective base station.[0004]Advanced systems determine the sector in which the mobile phone resides and roughly estimate also the distance to the base station. Further approximation may be done by interpolating signals between adjacent antenn...
